hmmm...did you flash the kernel first before you flash the ROM??? or do you unlock your bootloader first before you attempt to flash any kernel on your phone????

First I unlocked the bootloader, then rooted it, then installed CyanoGen ICS via the Aroma installer in CWM, I think I forgot to flash any kernel...
So when the installation was finished, it restarted, went to the Sony Ericsson logo and after that nothing, black screen

Then flash a CM compatible Kernel and then re-install the CM ROM..
CM ROMs won't work with Stock Kernel..
And since you said yo used Aroma to install the CM9 ROM, I presume it must be KRsH CM9 ROM.. If so, use the KRsH Kernel for that.

I flashed it and now it's fine

[Q] Bricked My WT19i

I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

Did you install it with the given instruction on the post to the letter, and did you install Facebook in aroma installer when doing it? i know that causes the bootloop, anyway reroot your current ics firmware, then try again.

I didn't flash any kernel because it wasn't asked in the installation instructions. I thought it was included in the zip file.
i tried ir again and i got another bootload
You must see instructions, if there is a kernel/boot.img to flash, you have to flash it. But that only works if your bootloader is unlocked. Maybe try another rom than realics
It happened the same to me ... The problem Is with kernel.. You should flash recommended kernel for the given Rom ... Bootloop will be the thing of past ...
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Real ICS does supports locked bootloader, just make sure that in aroma installer u selec the the lock bl option and the right phone model and it should work. u can also try unlocking your bl and flash to custom kernel
You have to flash correct kernel attach to the ROM

Help men!!
Yesterday I got a used x10i. I rooted it, installed a recovery and unlocked bootloader.
After that I installed the X10S rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960
Today I tried to go to Android 4 with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782771
In the instruction says to flash an fxp kernel but all links are dead so I found another fxp kernel that said it was compatible with CM9 and ICS roms.
I did it successfully but I couldnt install the rom.
After that I downloaded the stock-based rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693489
It loaded without problem but when it works always in landscape mode and i cannot connect it to my pc, so I cannot use flashtool.
What should I do???
Help me friends! :crying:

my Sola is stuck at Sony boot logo

ok here's what I did. coming from stock ICS, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed Sony Xperia Sola custom boot for 6.1.1.B.1.10 + rooted + CWM Touch recovery v5.5.0.4 from here. i was successful but it's still lag. So I tried flashing Infinity ROM using CWM then when I rebooted my phone it's stuck on the "SONY custom" boot logo. I waited for several minutes but it still won't continue.
I can still access CWM and flash again the custom boot 6.1.1.B.1.10 + rooted + CWM but to no luck. still stuck at boot logo
any suggestion would be appreciated!

looks like this' my last choice. My phone went on boot-loop after I reflashed the custom 6.1.1.B.1.10 (without the boot.img). I'm using CM9.1 for now, but as I read it's not yet complete. I guess this will do for now.
still I want to ask what kernel is needed for Infinity ROM?
Hi, after flashing the ROM did you wiped everything: wipe data, wipe cashe, wipe dalvick cashe?

Flash Pure Blood Rom then Flash Infinty Rom, worked for me!

If I'm not wrong, the Pixel team's ROMs need pure stock kernel. The ROM doesn't include the kernel i think, which is why wipe data is never needed. The One by munjeni has a modified kernel, and that could explain the bootloop.
You could flash either Stock, the xHybrid ROM, or the PureBlood ROM and then flash to Infinity ROM. As both have the Stock Kernel in them, they should work, but you'll lose data ( data wipes are always recommended when trying new ROMs, except updates from the rom you are currently running )
Sola Stuck on Sony logo+battery not charging
Hi guys,
I was using munjeni's jelly bean port+ etch04's experimental kernel for sometime and everything was great until yesterday. My battery died out completely and when I plugged it into the charger it turned on and was stuck in the Sony logo. There was no charging indicator. I thought omg so this is what a hard brick looks like. As you know, the sola's battery isn't removable so I thought I was doomed.Tried a hard reset and there was no difference. So I kept it there (plugged in, stuck in the sony logo) for a while, plugged it out and turned it on. Luckily, IT HAD CHARGED even if the charging indicator or display didn't show it. So I tried turning it on but it got stuck on the sony logo as usual. Since the battery had charged a little, I plugged the phone in fastboot mode and flahed etch04's experimental kernel again. But it still got stuck in the sony logo. Then, as a last resort I flashed the stock ICS .54 kernal using flashtool and IT WORKED! (charged with charging indicator and display)
Then I flashed etch04's kernel again and now everything's back to normal.
Here's the stock ICS .54 kernel.
View attachment MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.rar
Place it in flashtool/firmware folder and flash with flashtool.
Good Luck!

Hi
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!

[Q][Sola] P.A.C. Man rom installation problems

Hello,
I'm trying to install the P.A.C Man rom on my Xperia Sola. I got the boot.img from the .zip file and successfully flashed it via fastboot.
After that I rebooted and the "Xperia Sony Smartphone" splash came up and the led flashed once. Usually I would go to CWM from there by pressing volume+. But now just nothing happens; the splashscreen keeps showing and I can't enter CWM to flash the rom istself.
Did I do something wrong or did I miss any important steps?
I would appreciate any help!

1) You are on unlocked bootloader, right?
2) Did you try with volume - button?

Somehow I got I figured out. I flashed another kernel via fastboot, got into CWM and flashed the rom there. Now my system is up and running and everything seems to work just fine.
I wasn't sure whether I need the boot.img from the kernel or not.
Thanks for your help anyway, DaRk-L0rD!
